Camera is in for service, so no new pictures...
Ryan- Growing so big! His is 8 weeks old and is out of his newborn clothes (yes, he was big, but he wore newborn). He is so aware and smiling all the time. He has not found his schedule during the day, but sleeps so well at night that I just don't care! He is active and likes to be on his back and kick and wiggle around. He just started cooing with his smiles so we'll be waiting for laughter soon. Laughter is a must in this household! He has even started to smile at his sister versus cringing every time he hears her voice. Poor sister...she just wants to love.
Haley- Growing so big! I am not kidding when I say she is making us laugh daily. She is so curious and is taking in everything like a sponge. She is VERY aware when we are telling stories about her to other people and will often chime in with details of her own. The other day at Willow Street we had a male server who was very flamboyant (sp) and spoke with a sassy voice. Haley asked us "Why does he have funny talk?" and pinched her nose and talked a nasal talk...too much! She has been busy with her friends and birthday parties and the fun things that have to do with summer. She is in a nose picking phase and we told her that she either needs to use a tissue or go into the bathroom for some privacy. She'll ask "is this privace?" It makes sense..."privace" as the root word for "privacy."
Jen- Growing so big! Just kidding...not a funny joke when trying to shape up post baby. I am just gearing up to go back to work. I start back on the 18th and the kids come the following week. Josh has reminded me that I cry every year after having the summer with Haley. This year feels harder, rightfully so. I try to keep in mind that this is a great job to go back to. I do love what I do and have a very family friendly job and I am thankful for that. It has felt great to get back into regular exercise. I even survived a step class last weekend. I have loved being a stay at home mom this summer and already look forward to next summer when my hands will be really full!
Josh- Josh has a new, exciting job! I am so glad that I am writing this entry so I can brag about him. :) He will be joining a non profit called First Act. It's an organization that is working on different initiatives to improve Silicon Valley's look and culture. They got a position approved and approached Josh for the job. They knew they wanted him and said the job was his for the taking. He is very excited about the change and the new challenge and we are all so happy for him! Josh has two main things when thinking about work...is it family friendly and is there room for growth? The number one item on the organization's policies is Family First. So awesome!
Pictures to come when we get our camera back!
